Welcome to Forest Hill International School

At Forest Hill Montessori International School and Daycare, the full potential of each child as an individual is warmly encouraged and fully expected.

Since the beginning of the 20th Century, Maria Montessori has been influential in the understanding of how children learn and how we can provide the best environment for them to reach their full potential. We are proud to carry on that important task for your children!

Children who experience a Montessori education are highly motivated and learn to be independent, self-confident and self-disciplined. Learning becomes a source of pleasure for them and they are able to develop their own abilities to the full potential in an environment where competition is not important and non-existent. As a result children in a Montessori program develop a desire to learn and succeed. We would like that for your child too!

FHIS provides a Montessori Daycare program, International Kindergarten Program, and International Primary Program. Our teachers are truly qualified teachers with at least 3 years experiences with each program. On the top of that our head teacher is a Montessori teacher from Italy.
